have posted something similar under builders threads but to get a better response i have chanegd the title.

i desperately need to get a good set of extendable ladders capable of holding up to 200kg.

see plenty in the usual diy places but they onely seem to hold a maximum of 150.

any ideas ?

 

try any builders merchant they should be able to help

 

tried a lot of places but they dont hold up to 200kg so i am told ! dont think i would like to try it at a height !

 

200kg? they won't last you very long the rate you are gaining it mate...what about trying for 250kg...

about the diy places though, ladders are designed for one person...who normally wouldn't make 150kg... you'd need the whole of my family on the rungs to get there

 

lol !

 

What are you carring up the ladder then?

 

I dont know if you have heard of this company but i believe they make quality gear for the construction industry

i have damaged one of those really thin attic ladders before ! thank god they had strong floorboards !

Industrial Grade One is only good for 175kg. Better than 150kg though.

I've had a grade 2 (light trade) for 20 years and never bent it, but I'm not 188kg....

Prices here look good (only Ł10 + vat delivery),
